ADMIRAL PORTER URGES SUBSIDIES


Admiral Porter has very active faith in
the reconstruction of the American commercial
marine In "The Public Service Review"
new weekly journal published by Harper q
Brothers for the joint benefit OF the Army and
NAVY. he makes the bold prediction that within
two years aour people will demonstrate to the
world that they are capable OF doing all their
own shipbuilding, not only for private indi-
viduaIs. but for the Government as well, and
that. notwithstanding the Boosted supremacy
of Great Britain, we can turn out as good
work and furnish better material than can be
found in any part of Europe, except perhaps.
Sweden He is encouraged to give emphatic
expression to this belief by the rapidity with
which the new cruiser Baltimore is building IN
Philadelphia, and the enterprise shown by the
Bethlehem Iron Works in undertaking TO fur
nish afmor plate and gun steel on
ernment proposals. He contends that
American mines can provide material which
England cannot duplicate, and that domestic
manufacturers, when stimulated by big con-
tracts TO put forth their greatest efforts. cnn
convert it into iron or steel equal 70 anything
that is made in Europe. Only one thing. in
his Judgment, is required in order to secure a
commercial marine as good in all respects,
speed included. as the English now have. This
is Government aid to American lines and this.
he believes, will not be withheld in future
1t is most refreshing to find so great an
authority as Admiral Porter advocating the
cause of American built ships so unreservedly
and not hesitating 10 recommend subsidies.

Why should Mr.. jefferson Davis, survivor OF
the Lost Cause, be angry with Lord Wolscley
Tor prasing General Lee as the chief military
genius of the Civil WARP The most reasonable
explanation of the furious letter which he has
written to "1he Louisville Courier Journal Is
pique. Mr.. Davis considers himself the chief
hero OF that great struggle and is unwilling to
have distinguished foreigner pay high tribute
to the vhginian soldier and thereby challenge
his own pre-eminence on the Southern side. Then
too, the ex President OF the Confederacy received
q military education and fancied that he could
direct tho armies in the field with more ability
and success than his corps Of generals; and he
undoubtedly did much harm to the Southern for

Reports of the effects of the recent earth
uuakes in Mexico and the Southwestern States
of the Union come In slowly. but up to the
present time they indicate greater loss OF life
than was at first supposed. AT one place In
Sonora, Mexico, $50 persons are said to have
been killed. and in another town twenty nine.
In regard to volcanic eruptions, the reports are
yet decidedly vague. 1t would not be safe to
assert as O fact that any have occurred; but 1t
they have not, then the effect OF the earth
quakes in the mountains must have been start
ling. 1t is curious to note how noble the people
of the Southwest brave these seismic Affections,
and make the best of them. Sandwiched In
with reports of loss of life are cheerful state
ments that streams Of water have broken out
Just where they are most wanted and that two
great veins of eold-bearing quartz have been
revealed This indicates a sharp eye to busl-
ness.
